Default If you were genitally dismembered would life be no longer worth living?

Basically, while I was at a Christian music festival last week, some of the guys thought if they were 'dismembered' then life would no longer be worth living. I disagreed. Was wondering what you people would think.

That's grounds for a mercy killing if ever there was one.

There's a difference between 'living' and being alive.

Sure, there's more to life than sex, not much, but more. Of course being 'genitally dismembered' would also get rid of essential hormones, so you wouldn't be the person you were...

Just a quick note. This assumess that you would find some other way to pee (and it would not inhibit your peeing in any way or be painful or impractical) and that you wouldn't have an infection, and that the removal of the penis itself wouldn't actually be painful.

So it's more about sex and "status", peeing doesn't come into it.

Just the penis, not the ... (how shall I say this...?) balls.

LOL.

Would life be worth living? Definitely.

Would it be easy, or possible, to readjust? Possibly. Personally I would find it very hard if not impossible. But I wouldn't say that my life would become worthless.

Would I still have sexual urges?

If not I can prolly go on living but suffering from constant psychological complexes of some kind.


Otherwise I'll be this guy:
